It's not really in the steering... It doesn't have any realy affect on my steering, but I can feel whatever it is through the steering wheel when I turn the wheel while moving forward.

I raised the a-arm and rotated the rotor by hand and tried my best to turn the wheel...

Nothing happened...

is there any oil/grease inside your wheel on the side the noise is coming from

HMUSN · November 29th, 2007, 07:27 PM

hmm.. maybe a linkage issue..

What piece? There isn't any stress marks or unusual bends in any of the parts... A while back someone said maybe a tierod end... I'm not sure which part that is, and what it's supposed to look like in good condition.

HMUSN · November 29th, 2007, 07:34 PM

your tire rods look fine.

I'm not sure where in the linkage.. it "might" have an issue.

hows you front sway bar look?

03 R Code · November 29th, 2007, 07:38 PM

Sway bar looks untouched...

I just noticed something. I think it's the exciter ring for the front ABS. It's looking bent when I rotate the rotor and look down on it. I don't see how that could be affectin the steering or making any noise though...

HMUSN · November 29th, 2007, 07:42 PM

I don't see that scraping anything

mattstang · November 29th, 2007, 07:43 PM

put it back together let it down...

try to move the tire side to said. this can indicate wheel bearing problems.

try to rock the tire at the top. this can show ball joint problem.

and go to an empty parking lot turn to lock at low speed back and forth. if it pops check you a-arm bushings.

HMUSN · November 29th, 2007, 07:47 PM

^ good advise.

I'm telling ya.. it's only going to happen while bearing weight

03 R Code · November 29th, 2007, 07:47 PM

Me neither...

I don't have anyone here to help until this weekend. I'll have her turn the steering wheel while I rotate the wheel...

Thanks. I'm going to try that tonight.

Here's a curveball for ya... While doing the stop to stop test I noticed that it only makes the noise while in gear. When I was doing those circles I would push the clutch in and the noise would go away...

Sounds like it's maybe in the rear end???

mattstang · November 29th, 2007, 08:20 PM

you might be hearing your t-loc engaging and disengaging

drain the fluid over a screen and see if theres and metal or clutch material if not i wouldnt worry about it

03 R Code · November 29th, 2007, 08:33 PM

I just had the rearend rebuilt, with an Auburn 31 spline locker and 31 spline Moser axles... I didn't used to hear any noise for the first month or so when I had just gotten it rebuilt. Now it seems to be getting worse.

HMUSN · November 29th, 2007, 08:33 PM

also pull the fill plug and check for shavings.

the plug had a magnet on it.

ChrisJ · November 29th, 2007, 08:40 PM

If he pushes the clutch in and it stops my guess would be throw out bearing...

The rear end would still make the noise even if you pushed the clutch in if it was the rear end...

HMUSN · November 29th, 2007, 08:42 PM

that makes sense as well.

you car is demented. give it to me.

03 R Code · November 29th, 2007, 08:43 PM

But it only happenes when I'm turning to the right, and just a little when I hit the stop turning left. If I"m going in a straight line, say approaching a stop, and I push in the clutch, nothing changes. It's like normal healthy operatoin from everything...

HMUSN · November 29th, 2007, 08:44 PM

it sounds like differential issues to me now..lol
